I am currently working as a Post-Doctoral Researcher and Team Lead for the Embedded AI Group at the Institute for Embedded Systems, University of Siegen, Germany. Besides, I am serving as a Lecturer in the Institute for Embedded Systems at the University of Siegen. I completed my PhD in Embedded Systems and MSc in Mechatronics from the University of Siegen, Germany. Prior to my MSc, I received my BSc degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. However, before coming to Germany, I also worked as a Lecturer at Gono University, Bangladesh.
